So, on Friday, my Earth Leakage tripped, not sure why. I thought it was the Inverter but i put it back up and all was fine.
Then I noticed, our CCTV cameras were all offline. Long story short, the power supply seems to now flash a green light and doesn't power the cameras.
The unit looks like this:
View attachment 1595396
If I disconnect the 12V cables from the PSU to that distribution board with fuses, the PSU works fine and the green light stays on. It outputs 12.3V on that line.
The moment you reconnect the that distribution board on the right, the PSU flashes green and only 1.3V is shown on the output. All the RED LED's have a faint flicker as well.
I've tried disconnecting some cameras - no effect. I've also checked all the fuses - no effect.
Anyone got any other ideas? And on the back of that, any recommended CCTV repairers in the Sandton area you've used? The system was installed by ADT but they have a tendency to charge an arm and a leg along with a mad waiting period to be served.. Its out of warranty by now. Also I have no idea why on the right in output no 6 they connected and orange and yellow power from a CAT5 cable..
